Notes on charging by using the computer
Charge the battery when the OPR lamp blinks in red rapidly.
While the battery is charging, the OPR lamp indicates the charging status of your
Walkman.
You can see the status of the OPR lamp through the OPR lamp window on the USB
cradle (supplied).
Lights up in red: Being charged
Turns off: Charged fully or not being charged
Charging time is approx. 1.5 hours.
When your Walkman has been fully charged, disconnect it from the computer.
For a Mac computer, click the eject icon of [WALKMAN] in the sidebar of Finder to
disconnect your Walkman.
If the computer enters a power saving mode such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode
while your Walkman is connected via the USB cradle (supplied), the Walkman
continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it.
When you use your Walkman for the first time, or if you have not used the Walkman for
a long time, it may take a few minutes to be recognized by the computer, even if
charging has already started (the OPR lamp lights up in red). Check that the computer
recognizes your Walkman after you have connected it to the computer for about
5 minutes.
